Body Languages in Sports

By Ken

Basketball has several body languages. First, charging and blocking are sets of foul. The charging foul is being used in offense while blocking foul is being used in defense. Second is when the players tap each other’s behind which means “Good job” or "Its okay." Third is “high five” that means a sign of friendship and working together.

Cycling has several body languages as well. First, the lap winner raise his hand. Second, the champion raises his bike over his head to tell that he is the strongest. Lastly, the leader wears yellow shirt while the lap winner wears green shirt.

Boxing has several body languages. First, rope-a-dope means rest on the ropes in the middle of the ring. The boxer uses ropes around the ring to rest if they feel tired during a fight. Second, when the referee raises the hand of the boxer, it means he is the winner.

Cockfighting has several sign languages. First, holding one finger means we’re number one. Second, a two finger sign means victory. Lastly, three fingers mean a grand slam.

Ken is a huge basketball fan. He likewise plays the game in school and in his local league.
